Flyp.me implements Monero's sub-addresses in crypto to crypto exchange. Flyp.me, the leading crypto to crypto exchange without the need to register an account was first launched in 2017.

Press Release

The Flyp.me exchange has focused on privacy, simplicity and speed on a constant basis. It has a catalogue of more than 30 cryptocurrencies and tokens. Today, Flyp.me adds the latest implementations of monero’s sub-addresses. This constitutes another layer of privacy when it comes to observers trying to associate transfers from Monero to and from Flyp.me. Let's go in depth:

Flyp.me was launched under the premise of respecting the transactional privacy of users and maintaining an exchange without accounts. Monero's recently implemented sub-addresses allow the use of the exchange with fewer parameters to be introduced; significantly reducing the possible irreversible mistakes of an unskilled user. At the same time, the new compatibility implements an additional layer of "anonymity" to the transactions with Monero. Monero is characterized by offering one of the best privacy options in the market for transactions. However, some of the features had made adoption difficult for inexperienced users. At the same time, they offered a surveillance vector through Payment IDs.

The Monero's active development community proposed change for the entire ecosystem

The Monero's community proposed to remove support for sending independent payment ID transactions in the majority of the wallets by April 2019. It also proposed eliminating support for sending payment ID transactions (including integrated addresses) in the consensus layer by October 2019. Exchanges, payment processors and other services should be updated to support Monero's sub-addresses as soon as possible. Therefore, Flyp.me announces its implementation offering all the advantages to the customers and the community.

This utility allows users to discard creating more than one wallet to receive funds in multiple directions without being linked. It also allows the user to corroborate transactions that enter their portfolio and associated sub-addresses. This can be used to verify if there are internal movements within their subaddress scheme without it being observable by third parties. The objective is clear: to ensure that any Monero's wallets cannot be linked by observing transactions. This strengthens Flyp.me's usage model by taking care of the transactional privacy of users who operate with Monero.

Removing the Payment ID makes it difficult to associate different transactions between two parties that usually operate together. At the same time, it also makes it difficult to mass associate multiple payments from multiple users made to the same recipient because the previous payment IDs are not included. The Flyp.me exchange was created with a solid set of values by a team working on Bitcoin since 2012. To date, it has fulfilled its promise to be the fastest, safest and most private way to exchange cryptocurrencies & tokens directly into the wallet.

The 2019 design went a step further by making the process of buying and selling crypto very easy. With the new implementation of Monero, a bottleneck in the adoption of cryptocurrencies is removed. It is true that Monero has been one of the cryptocurrencies with the most complicated process to use all its privacy features. The new implementation simplifies the use and adoption of the entire Monero's network and its applications. However, it also simplifies the use of merchant platforms such as Flyp.me that promote the decentralization and application of privacy to services in a secure manner. The Monero's community made clear their desire to move forward with their recommended timeline; and now, Flyp.me incorporates the implementation for decentralized Monero exchanges from wallet to wallet.

To date, Monero has been developed by the community; among them there are few "visible leaders". Behind the scenes, however, it is a very active community with collaborators from all areas of the sector. The philosophy of privacy as a fundamental human right is the hallmark of Monero, and its group of seven main developers.

The essential of adoption is the necessity and ease-of-use

We have witnessed in recent years a slow and progressive growth of use cases for cryptocurrencies and tokens. Applications, uses and developments have diversified, including value storage, hundreds of services/utilities, and micropayments. However, developments that facilitate the inclusion of less specialized users have accelerated the process. Flyp.me offers a service as powerful as it is user-friendly. Management does not require knowledge in cryptography, programming or other specialties, offering a complete service of exchange without account or records.

In terms of adoption, this Monero's consensus step facilitates operations for all parties. Improving the experience of users and traders who use Flyp.me in their operations. Sometimes these parties want an extra layer of privacy compared to operating with bitcoin. Monero offers this layer and it is now both easier to use and harder to track.

The cryptocurrency world woke up today to the shocking news that one of the world’s biggest crypto exchanges suffered a significant hack on Tuesday the 7 of May.

The attack was extremely well planned, and the hackers took their time, using different tactics to obtain not only user funds, but even more worryingly, user information such as 2FA codes and API keys.

The hackers were able to bypass Binance’s strong security and all the rules put in place to stop such an attack. The warning signals only went off when the BTC was already moved off the exchange to a single bitcoin wallet.

Binance assured users that their funds are safe and that it would be covered by the SAFU fund put in place for this very reason.

SAFU Fund: “SAFU, the Secure Asset Fund for Users is an emergency insurance fund. On the 3rd of July, 2018, Binance announced the Secure Asset Fund for Users.

“To protect the future interests of all users, Binance will create a Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU). Starting from 2018/07/14, we will allocate 10% of all trading fees received into SAFU to offer protection to our users and their funds in extreme cases. This fund will be stored in a separate cold wallet." Source

The hackers were extremely patient and only started the withdrawal process after they had a number of high value accounts under their control.

Hacked exchanges are sadly an everyday occurrence but it is worrying that what is perceived as one of the safest exchanges in the world can suffer a hack of this size. The cryptocurrency world still has some ways to go before users can ever feel safe 100%, if that is even possible. Banks have never found a way to keep funds 100% so it would be even harder to accomplish with an asset that was designed to be easy to transfer anywhere in the world in seconds.

Many in the community have rallied around Binance, with controversial TRX founder Justin Sun tweeting soon after the news broke out, with an offer to deposit $70 million into the exchange to ally fears

The price of Bitcoin has not seen a large movement in price at the time of writing and it might be that users feel satisfied by the way Binance has handled this attack. Or it might be that users are not affected by exchange hacks anymore since it has become a regular occurrence.

All withdrawals and deposits are presently still suspended, although trading is allowed so that users might manage open trades.

For now it is advised that all users change their passwords, update their 2FA or enable it if not yet done. At the end of the day the responsibility to keep your funds safe lies with you. It also shows that for now hard wallets like Trezor vs Ledger’s are still your safest bet.

The NODIS platform and the Challenge program. The platform proposed as a solution to the mismatches and difficulties in the social network market by NODIS aims to solve the problematic points of social network marketing through the "Challenge program".

Press Release

In the platform proposed by the founding team, companies can post a challenge on the platform for people to participate. It can be something like "taking a selfie in front of a store and publishing it on social networks". Once the requested challenge is submitted for review, platform users can vote if it fulfills the challenge criteria.

Both, approved participants and voters on the majority side will be rewarded with NODIS tokens. NODIS tokens can only be purchased by GAS tokens from the NEO block chain during their 2 sales phases. The platform's native tokens are designed to be redeemed for vouchers of products/services in Nodis.io. Therefore, there will be cases of use and utility. In essence, it is the unity of exchange of the ecosystem from day one, and it is planned to generate new use cases through incorporations and future partnerships.

Agencies and brands want to work with social network influencers, usually to develop their marketing strategies. Influencers provide freshness to not-so-fresh brands; in turn, they are constant and tend to have good audiences. The fact that they are people related to the target client of the promotion, concludes that they know how to dialogue with their audience. Therefore, by being active in social networks, they have earned reputation and trust among their followers. In short, they achieve the goal of helping to connect with the user.

The role of influencers with Nodis in a digital natives age

It is a fact, nowadays the role of the influencers creates a rapprochement between the brand or product and the final customer. Closeness is part of the marketing strategy that underpins the role of influencers. Interacting with followers, showing empathy, closeness and similarity with them is something that has revolutionized the global online sales model. Thousands of cases can be found on social networks. For this, that the influencers have established communication skills is indispensable. Therefore, creating trust links between the parties feeds an environment of loyalty.

On the other hand, knowledge is necessary; attached to communicative skills offers a sustainable story to communicate. This also makes it easier for the client to receive correct and undistorted information. Nodis provides an ecosystem where stakeholders come together. Creating a promotion closer to the consumer. Whether it's wellness, health, technology or a digital creation... it's important that all parties maintain a solid base version. Nodis provides an ecosystem in which the community and advertisers come together generating synergies and empowering participants.

In a digital age where influencers have multiplied, Nodis will provide a tailored environment backed by the NEO blockchain; where influencers play an essential role by participating in the materialization of campaigns in various ways. Users will be rewarded both for creating content and for successfully reviewing content published by other users. In this way, content review is decentralized and the parties involved are empowered through rewards.

Initial sale of the NODIS token and final product development details

After the first round of funding, it is expected that in June a minimum first version of the product (MVP)can be checked. The proposed initiative is to acquire sufficient funds for 1 year of expenditure to develop the final product. With a minimum collection set at $358,140 (soft cap) up to a maximum of $880,000 (hard cap). Each NODIS token has been valued at 0.1105 GAS. In this first phase, all the necessary capital for the first year of operations would be grouped, including:

During the second round of funding, and after completing the final product, the raised fund will allow Nodis to operate for up to 4 years without the need for any further capital. The planning outlined in the Nodis documents proposes a model of medium- and long-term stability for all parties. Therefore, the expectations of the founders in the medium to long term are for stable growth in the users and customers base. For more details about the sales phases and the NODIS token, we recommend reviewing the Whitepaper).

The distribution of the NODIS token programmed for a decreasing and proportionately fair emission

A supply limit of 100 million tokens is set, of which 20,000,000 are available for initial sale. However, although the amount made available to investors is low (20%), it is compensated by a high percentage in the distribution to users who are members of the platform. 55,000,000 NODIS tokens (55% of the total) will be distributed to those who complete and review the challenges or tasks of the Challenge program. Therefore, a large part will be distributed gradually depending on the activity of the platform and the users. 10% of the distribution will be reserved for marketing and other initiatives that maintain an active interest in the platform. Nodis uses a working test concept in which the tasks mentioned above will be rewarded in proportion to the remaining tokens to be issued.

The allocation rate will start at 55 NODIS tokens for each task. 80% of the reward goes to the Challenger Challenge (44 NODIS tokens). For voters who form the accepted majority (approved), 12% of the shared rate (6.6 NODIS). And thus completing 100%, 8% will go to the majority that has rejected a Challenge submission (4.4 NODIS). As the supply of circulating NODIS chips increases, the emission rate will decrease proportionally to ensure a gradual protection of the symbolic value. The calculation of the decrease is [Remaining Tokens to be emitted divided by 1 million] and can therefore be expected based on the remaining reserves.

Example of NODIS tokens distribution using the designed proof of work

For example, if the total reserve for issuance is 55 million tokens, 55 NODIS Tokens are allocated for each Challenge completed. This is the result of applying [Remaining Tokens to be issued, divided by 1 million]. As it decreases with the issuance by new Challenges compled, if we assume that the issuance reserves fall to 53 million, then the issuance rate per completed Challenge decreases to 53 NODIS Tokens. All calculations are done in real time, as the reserve decreases because the tokens are assigned to users based on their activity. In the example provided above, an early scenario is observed with all the NODIS tokens of the Challenge program to be broadcast.

How to buy NODIS Tokens on the official website

If you want to know in more detail how to participate in the acquisition of NODIS tokens you can visit the official website, documentation or social networks that we share below.

XCrypt, a full-fledged hybrid crypto exchange platform, is gearing up for its highly anticipated token sale on the 24th of May. The platform is aspiring to be at the forefront of the fintech revolution by combining the traditional world of finance with the vast array of innovations made possible by blockchain technology.

Press Release

XCrypt: An exciting future-proof crypto exchange taking the IEO route

The XCrypt platform is currently in its launch phase, which is good news for investors as the native token that powers the exchange ecosystem can still be purchased. For the token sale, the XCrypt team decided to take the Initial Exchange Offering route in collaboration with IDAX. With the platform’s support for cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies and securities and its impressive list of strategic partnerships, an integrated debit card and innovative social media trading features, the XCrypt IEO is a token sale to get excited about.

About XCrypt

The XCrypt platform is establishing an end-to-end crypto-asset exchange ecosystem catering to every need of the crypto investor. Given that the exchange industry is highly competitive, any new exchange entering this space has to include features that make it stick out from competition, and XCrypt does just that.

For starters, users of XCrypt enjoy 0% transaction fees for using the platform. The multi-language exchange is developed to operate on any device and has a highly intuitive interface.

Additionally, the platform has ensured legal compliance that goes a few steps further than the majority of existing exchanges and allows for the listing of a large variety of tokens, including securities, security token offerings (STOs) and ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens. The STO marketplace is scheduled to be released during the fourth quarter of 2019 and XCrypt will also support a decentralized marketplace for crypto assets, which can be either based on the Ethereum blockchain or other blockchains that allow for assets to be built on top of it.

You can check out a demo of the MVP of the XCrypto exchange platform right here.

Security and compliance

The XCrypt ecosystem is also geared to support both the traditional and digital financial systems by enabling both fiat and crypto transactions, while being fully regulatory compliant. The platform has obtained an official license to support fiat-crypto and vice versa exchanges and to provide virtual currency wallet services, through Estonia services. Due to this license, users of the platform can be assured of both the legal compliance and security of their new cryptocurrency exchange.

Unfortunately, the existing cryptocurrency exchange industry is still haunted by security threats, with exchange hacks occurring on a near-weekly basis. In order to ensure that the XCrypt platform doesn’t run into these problems, it has adopted the highest security standards, which includes the CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS) and multiple strategic partnerships.

To aid in the security of the exchange platform, XCrypt has partnered up with Stratus Cyber, a company specializing in cybersecurity solution for blockchain projects, and is in the finalizing stages of closing partnerships with Threely Wallet, an innovative solution aiming to simplify cryptocurrency wallets and addresses, Ledger Vault, an established crypto-custody solution for the safekeeping of assets and Legacy Trust, an organization specialized in providing safekeeping, asset servicing and custodial services.

Unique features

The XCrypt ecosystem will also include a debit card, both physical and virtual, that allows for storing and spending the most popular cryptocurrencies. This service is powered by the project’s deal with WirexApp, a company providing cryptocurrency payment solutions through their Wirex Visa card. XCrypt is also aiming to establish a future partnership with WirexApp to expand the debit card utility.

Additionally, XCrypt also introduces the innovative concept of Social Media Trading, which is an advanced investment solution that enables seasoned traders and investors to set up and manage joint funds in which other investors can buy into. SMT has rapidly been gaining popularity in recent years as it allows for elaborate tools for information and skill sharing, allowing more novice investors to select traders of their choosing and profit from the experience of these professionals. For more information on the Social Media Trading feature and the platform as a whole, check out the whitepaper.

IEO on IDAX

As for now, the XCrypt token sale is still in its private stage, however, once the private sale ends on the 24th of May, the token will be publicly for sale in the XCrypt Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) on IDAX. During the first phase of the IEO on IDAX, investors will receive a 20% bonus on their token purchase. XCT tokens for sale in the IEO can be bought with Ethereum.

In total, there will be 200 million XCT tokens, of which 120 million (60%) are sold during the token sale. The XCT tokens are the lifeblood of the XCrypt ecosystem and have a myriad of utilities on the platform, including membership payments, participation in XCrypt-based ICOs, payment for debit card fees, payment for the fees of both the centralized and decentralized exchange and eligibility for the airdrop ranking system. The latter is a unique system that lets ICOs that partner with XCrypt airdrop their tokens to the exchange’s users to spread awareness and solicit investors from the community. Details can be found here. At present, XCrypt has already closed multiple listing agreements with projects to list their tokens on the exchange platform, and as a part of the deal these project will participate in airdropping their tokens to the XCrypt community through the airdrop ranking system!

Once the IEO is finalized, the XCrypt project has also secured multiple XCT token listings for on the following exchange platforms;

Bancor

LAtoken.com

Metamorph.pro

Extradecoin

Eterbase.com

Mycryptobank

BITOZZ

IDAX

Bitforex

Digifinex

More to come

An IEO to look forward to

Initial Exchange Offering are a brand new concept and XCrypt is leveraging this opportunity to get the most out of its exciting token offering on the 24th of may. The strategically sound partnerships ensure that the XCrypt exchange platform is on top of its game in the different challenges it faces, such as compliance, security and liquidity. The team has ensured that at every stage of the coming months, the platform is prepared and future-proof, with its XCT having already closed multiple post-token sale listing and over a dozen ICO projects preparing to launch on XCrypt. Add to that the 0% transaction fees on the platform, a variety of valuable utilities for the XCT token, a crypto-debit card and Social Media Trading functionalities, and it becomes clear why this IEO is one to look forward to.

https://www.cryptocurrencyblog.co.za/crypto-news/mining-as-a-service-with-the-launch-of-minedblock

Mining evolves as a service with the aid of MinedBlock

Mining is a fundamental part of the blockchain for any crypto whether PoW or PoS, even other more recent algorithms such as PoE or PoP; some tokens starts pre-mined at 50% or even 100% of the available supply. However, most work running on blockchains with some of the existing mining algorithms; as is the case with Ethereum. The miners who support the network as the basis of the decentralization model become centralized as the increasing cost of start to operate.

To change the course of events, MinedBlock has designed an equitable model for investors. Several mining ICOs have been carried out during 2017 and 2018, sometimes offering a portion of the mining revenues in exchange for investment. However, making the initial sale without registering a regulated security token resulted in fatal outcomes. Mismanagement from the earliest days can erode even the most successful project, increasing the risk of failure for founders and investors. MinedBlock presents a mining operation focused on mining as a service, and the MBTX token is part of the equation.

The foundational core of the mining operations center that will conduct mining as a service

To house the project, a dedicated mining facility will be created that will focus on extracting multiple coins from the top 50 by market capitalization to ensure a wide range of revenue streams for customers to benefit from. Through the proposed large-scale operation, we will help improve currency decentralization where large groups of currencies already dominate the hash rates of popular coins. From the outset, there is an indication of a level of decentralisation within the territories themselves, through the global distribution of mining data centres.

The founders, Greg Wales (CEO) & Paul Bishop (COO), with Matthew Ruff (CSO); identify and manage the risks associated with the company's code of ethics. They are also responsible for catalyzing projects to take advantage of business opportunities with impact. In short, the goal proposed by the founders, oriented towards mining as a service, will challenge the usual difficulties of cloud mining services through a process based on STO, transparency and equal participation.

The solution to the Uncertainty of "Cloud Mining" and Other Services with MBTX

MinedBlock is running a Security Token Offering using Polymath ST20 fully compliant tokens. This configuration allows them to raise funds to speed up the process described in the roadmap in an automated way focusing on the most critical aspects. In this way, it accelerates the management process on the part of the core team. A large-scale mining operation without the need to purchase, configure and maintain mining equipment and set in a transparent environment. For this, the MBTX security token will feed a feedback ecosystem, generating an ecosystem with the premise of keeping mining as a service.

MinedBlock says that it will offer a fully managed mining service, in which it will be possible to count on specialists to take care of the equipment. Maintenance and upgrades are vital to ensure efficiency and profitability remains at its best. It is an essential detail in an environment that neither sleeps nor rests; the aspect of working with maximum productivity without downtime makes all the difference. Miners process calculations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is why a mining facility requires attention, maintenance, and repairs.

Details of the STO event around the MBTX security token

MinedBlock Holding Limited will own 75% of the total Mining Service of which shareholders will own 95%. MinedBlock Limited will own the remaining 5% and will own 25% of the Mining Service. Also, it will use mine revenues to grow the service to increase revenues. Participants in the sale of security tokens will be required to pass the KYC controls through the Minedblock.io website to enable inclusion in the white list by a smart contract.

The MBTX Security Token Offering is currently running with a 5% bonus on purchases. MBTX tokens are priced at $0.15 each

Documentation and transparency as an anti-fraud filter.

To satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), U.S. investors will have to qualify as Accredited Investors. We strongly recommend that you read the presentation document to understand the details, requirements, and risks associated with investments in cryptocurrencies and mining operations. A minimum target (SoftCap) of $1,000,000 has been set for the project to be established.

Valuation of the investor's commitment.

MinedBlock are charging a nominal fee for the KYC process, which avoids fraudulent users posing as investors... each user who completes the KYC process will be credited with the equivalent number of MBTX tokens of the costs. In this process, the MBTX token will be delivered in proportion to the cost of the KYC process, at a discounted value of $0.075 each. This ensures that only participants who want to go through the process are taken seriously, reducing unnecessary costs for launching the company's operations.

Characteristics of services that can make the difference from mining as a service.

To be a reality as a sector, mining services must not be different from other conventional services. Professionalism, transparency, immediate attention to the client/investor. These are details that make a difference. In this way, the sector shows a significant change with audited projects, registered as a security and complying with regulations. The services mentioned in the Minedblock documentation mention the following characteristics. With MinedBlock, it is not necessary to decide which currency or token you want to extract. MinedBlock counts on exploiting a variety of cryptocurrencies in favour of portfolio diversification. Such decisions make it easier to get proper distribution and maximize profitability.

About the hardware that is planned to be hosted in the facilities

As we find in the documentation, MinedBlock will use a mixture of ASIC units along with GPU (Mining Rigs) based equipment. The initial plan is to divide the investment among the following material, pending new releases from manufacturers:

Bitmain Antminer S15 and S17 – BTC Mining

Custom Built GPU Mining Rigs – ETH & alt coin mining

Host services at MinedBlock will use fully secure data centers.

The cryptocurrencies or tokens obtained from mining operations shall be kept in cold storage. This method is commonly used for exchanges and other services, driving away attackers on most things. Remember that cold storage is fully encrypted until it is time to make use of such cryptocurrencies or tokens.

Professionalism and transparency in the administration.

With the platform, it is intended that users/investors save time and effort. In the blockchain sector, we find thousands of crypto coins or tokens; this means that only experts can configure equipment for any mining process. Expert process management sets and maintains mining equipment. This zero-configuration process opens the door to users who do not have extensive knowledge. No client configuration is required. Careful management can successfully save high operating costs.

DexAge decentralized marketplace and global adoption

The DexAge decentralized exchange is a new autonomous and self-sustainable system, fueled by the social connection between traders and investors who use the platform.

DexAge's trading model capitalizes the power of users and channels it creating feedback synergies. The DXG platform combined with its dApp makes it possible to run in a decentralized framework; an approach that is gaining followers in the community. An online environment designed to enable several functions as described below. Operators, users, and investors find a new competitor in which to exchange and lend cryptographic assets.

Also, it offers an interface enriched with other nuances to enhance the use of decentralized wallets in day-to-day operations. No need for multiple registrations, or cede personal data to various third-party organizations. This is one of the premises that DexAge fulfills. In the ecosystem and through dApp, users can communicate and share their ideas. Or perhaps, share knowledge by chatting with each other before closing a business transaction.

The cases of use are multiple, in an increasingly digitized global environment in which companies and people interact with each other. A daily example is meetings, webinars, and talks through other well-known applications. Whether decentralized or centralized. The single, centralized authority model that controls the entire system has become obsolete. Since the founding team of DexAge, this sentence has been assumed, and power is given to the shareholders of DexAge. This kind of decentralization of power makes them the primary force influencing growth and development. You can join the telegram community at the following link.

The platform that will power the DXG token offers a full range of P2P functions

Asset escrow is a hot topic in the blockchain ecosystem throughout 2018 and what we carry from 2019. Even Vitalik Buterin stated without hesitation his inclination for DEX exchanges as the way forward. Centralized exchanges are bright in the dark for cyber bandits. Unlike their decentralized counterparts, exchanges with a single manager and incidences tend to be the chosen victim. On the other hand, decentralized exchanges are not perfect.

However, they avoid being an easy target. In a menu combining decentralised deposit services, p2p chat, and DEX, commissions are reduced to a minimum. This saving, compared to traditional loan systems, will generate economic equity. The elimination of such costs without intermediaries encourages all parties to feed liquidity and demand loans 100% crypto. The platform, led by Preciuous Kenneth W. and Suano Neenwi, joins the list of emerging companies in the Blockchain sector. The characteristics described in the documentation go beyond the conventional trade of a centralized cryptocurrency exchange.

Trading in the traditional way will be the primary function. However, a few implementations added by the development team will facilitate the exchange through custody between peers; decentralizing each feature. It will also show that escrow trading (Mainnet) will be launched in the second week of May, while other DexAge projects will follow the initial suite later.

The initial offer of the DXG token offers several alternatives for its acquisition

For those interested in participating in the initial sale of DXG there are multiple avenues. The fixed value for the Token is $0.01, so the opportunity to join with the 1000% discount is attractive. During the writing and publication of the article, it is sold at $0.001 (US Dollar - USD). Once the initial offer is finalized and all launch requirements have been adjusted, activities begin. The DXG token will start shooting in the second quarter of the year a few weeks before the platform is released. It can be seen on its roadmap, which are the first two priorities for the year 2019 full of expectations.

Global tokenization continues, replicating every trade-related aspect. The blockchain ecosystem weaves new commercial networks without intermediaries, new p2p networks. In a progressive but evident transition, we observe as entrepreneurial initiatives, of community nature, anticipate habitual giants of the market.

Transactions carried out on the decentralized platform, whether for trading or lending, have been designed to be coordinated by decentralized deposit services. This point is developed based on secure, intelligent contracts in the blockchain. For information on this point, we recommend reading the White Paper carefully.

Through the use of referral schemes, staking, voting rights, and portfolio diversification, the platform will empower its stakeholders and lead to its mass adoption.

The loan market is expected to generate several benefits; in principle, it encourages keeping tokens in stakeholder ownership. This movement creates temporary scarcity by temporarily removing them from circulation. On the other hand, the demand for credit generates cases of use and application of the platform token. This creates a speed of money that is expected to enjoy an excellent performance while waiting for feedback and solve small errors.

Soon more exchanges will list DXG adding value, liquidity, and ease of access to the token

Since the core team of DexAge has confirmed the agreement for the listing in LAtoken. So after the sales and finished the Bounty/Airdrop deals of the DXG token will be negotiated in LAtoken. In addition to LAtoken and Bitcratic (DEX), it is progressing that negotiations are currently underway with other exchanges/bags for the upcoming listing of the DXG token.

The pontential for blockchain and especailly smart contracts is truly boundless. More and more innovative smart contracts are popping up and one that piqued our interest at Crypcurrency Blog is a Smart Contract by Film Business Buster™ which allows holders of the Ethereum based token to invest in and share in the net profits from the first film, #TheFaustFlick, forever. It is certainly an exciting new way to utilize the power of Blockchain and another example of real world use case. I can forsee a future where fans are able to own a share of their favorite movie and benefit from it, all the while knowing that they played their part in bringing it to air.

Estudios amazonia changes the game in the film industry

#TheFaustFlick & the Film Business Buster™ Smart Contract

#TheFaustFlick, a comedy film, joins the Ethereum blockchain through a Security Token Offering. An audacious move by estudios amazonia; their White Paper is a sound business plan backed by an impresive and an in depth market research which latent opportunity is impeccably outlined as follows: 8.3 million hispanics frequent moviegoers in the U.S. (go to movies once a month or more) who yearn to see good stories they can relate to and familiar faces playing roles they can identify with, spent as much as $2.3 billions at the U.S. box office alone, year after year.

This comedy film is to be produced in Argentina and Venezuela and initially distributed in the U.S. in two different language versions; the first one with 80% of the dialog in spanish and the remaining in english; and the second one with 100% of the dialog in english. In both cases english will be enunciated, not dubbed. All this via the Film Business Buster™ Smart Contract which will grant TheFaustFlick (TFF) and FilmBusinessBuster (FBB) Token holders:

Access to the screenplay, celebrity letters of intent and all the project financial records..

Receive in perpetuity the net profits from #TheFaustFlick´s multiple revenue sources as well as all other future film projects.

Allow highly talented but industry-excluded screenwriters to submit screenplays for estudios amazonia to review, select, executive-produce and co-produce according to a predefined criteria, including story quality, film budget and their target market-audience opportunity, among other elements later to be published.

The rise of new technologies and the growth of independent financing.

In the last ten years the number of electronic devices per household has grown ostensibly, as a result, most people are nowadays more interconnected than ever. Within this digital reality, electronic financing has grown significantly over the last four years. Independent film producers could adapt and transform themselves by leveraging this financial revolution by joining blockchain networks.

It is evident that estudios amazonia has taken a quantum leap into this digital space with #TheFaustFlick and the Film Business Buster™ Smart Contract. The Orange Economy, or cultural and creative industries, such as the Independent filmmaking, can appropriately empowering their stakeholders through an open, verifiable and auditable Smart Contract, enabling and increasing Win-Win business relationships.

It is not a surprise therefore, that highly effective professional teams with visionary and feasible projects have recently issued with tremendous success Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) or Security Token Offerings (STO).

Smart Contracts modernize and automate the independent filmmaking and film business process through transparency and engagement with its stakeholders.

The filmmaking and film business process goes through at least sixteen (16) fully identified and auditable stages. The Film Business Buster™ Smart Contract, conceived and developed estudios amazonia, will provide a platform to Tokenize future films, thus becoming the first film producer in leveraging blockchain networks to optimize an existing and highly lucrative business model. #TheFaustFlick opens the gate for film production and distribution, thus strengthening the digital ecosystem with tested and proven sound value propositions.

The initial values of the TFF Token and the FBB Token adopt Ether as the unit of account.

It is a common method among ICO/IEO/STO in the crypto space and estudios amazonia understands how this financial ecosystem works. By setting the initial price in Ethereum (ETH), a step is taken towards the adoption of technologies and their properties. During the Presale and the STO the value of each TFF Token and FBB Token is set at 0.01 ETH, before the applicable discounts, with a minimum contribution of 1 ETH during the Presale and 0.15 ETH during the STO.

During Presale (April 2019) there will be 500.000 TFF Tokens available with a 50% discount. During the STO (May, June and July 2019) there will be 2.000.000 TFF Tokens with an initial 25% discount, down to a 10% discount at the end of this period.

#TheFaustFlick will be the first film project managed within the Film Business Buster ™ Smart Contract. TFF Token maximun supply will be 10.000.000 divisible units; respectively, FBB Token maximun supply will be 1.000.000 divisible units.

TFF Token holders will receive in perpetuity their share from the 90% of net profits from #TheFaustFlick multiple revenue sources. Additionally, FBB Token holders will receive in perpetuity their share of 10% of the net benefits of this film and of all New Film Projects that will be reviewed, selected, produced and/or co-produced by estudios amazonia.

A 2-minute film teaser of #TheFaustFlick, produced with a stringent budget but with the passion of more than 30 people, is available at thefaustflick.com/#Prototype. It is estimated that during the 90-minute film production at least 300 professionals will get involved.

estudios amazonia chose the Ethereum Network for their Smart Contract platform. The following contract addresses are available on their respective websites.

The Crypto/Blockchain space keeps evolving in spite of the current bear market that suppressed prices and interest for the past year and a half. There are companies that continue to grow and invest in the space and we are always on the look out for examples of real world blockchain use. Enter the team from Crypto Market Ads and their decentralized marketplace.

Press Release:

Crypto Market Ads introduces a new marketplace that solves all advertising and marketing needs; focused on Crypto & Blockchain market niches. The typical difficulties and problems are eliminated in a flash, connecting publishers and advertisers in the industry on a platform designed to fit the needs. By participating free of charge, the market environment allows publishers to engage in fairly and successfully competing, allowing them to maintain competitive prices. It leads to the discovery of costs that are as low as affordable and attractive to advertisers.

The crypto advertising and marketing industry have expanded over the last two years. Compared to 2017, ICO & IEO's advertising and marketing volume has quadrupled in just over a year in 2018. A similar pattern has been adopted by the amount of advertising and marketing budgets for projects in the field.

"Crypto Market Ads is a democratic and decentralized marketplace for crypto and blockchain advertising.” The founding core team.

In addition to establishing the best market solutions to advertise around the blockchain universe, they create an Internet of goods and services for vendors and global markets; Crypto Market Ads wants to change the manner in which vendors allocate products and services by creating a genuinely global P2P (peer-to-peer) ecosystem, in which vendors have confidence and in which goods and services are instantly available worldwide and all through a network of marketplaces. Crypto Market Ads also wants to offer interactive online tools, such as a decentralized visual marketplace builder with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. It is complemented by an initial coin offering platform (ICO) for the marketplaces to ensure the success of all stakeholders, involved parts and early adopters.

Is there any special offer for contributors?

The first 999 people to contribute at least 3+ ETH in Private Sale will have a lifetime 0% fees on the Crypto Market Ads marketplace along with a Founder badge.

Crypto Market Ads features, the three fundamentals of the platform

If we consider the challenges of a recently consolidated industry, the market needs a trusted platform as a safe heaven and bridge. A standard that brings together bounty hunters, early adopters, and the most successful crypto space publishers. In this sense, the Crypto Market Ads marketplace can benefit users through its three strengths:

Delivering consistent benefits, crypto space is generating opportunities for those who are immersed in the revolutionary entrepreneurship. The community and content creators require good profits to be able to continue performing their tasks without any worries. As a result, the value of content, websites, forum activity, videos, webinars, email campaigns, and many other related services are consolidated. Currently, there is no consolidated platform. Crypto Market Ads opens the doors to the actors of the sector to offer their advertising and marketing services. The mindset of the founders is to enable the advertisers find comfort in finding all service providers in one place at competitive and rational market prices.

In other words, the main objective is the generation of value for all parties. In this way, due to the traceability and transparency of the blockchain technology, the parties obtain a nexus of trust. Marketing teams can outsource almost all aspects of promotions to influencers, professionals, reward hunters and other related service providers in a transparent manner. They will also be able to negotiate with publishers and obtain customized offers according to their needs.

Expectations for growth in the crypto advertising market in the short and midterm

Currently, the total market size is around $5 billion and is expected to grow in the following years. It is expected to exceed $54 billion by 2021. This positive and fast growth has created logistical and external problems; pitfalls such as the banning of crypto advertising by large companies in the world. Companies and publishers that take advantage by charging up to ten times more than other comparable niches is an excellent example. It also becomes difficult to find in renowned influencers and publishers, as the early growth without regulations has attracted scams and fraud in the past.

Based on the high demands of the crypto advertising and marketing industry, it requires a platform to exchange large volumes of advertising and marketing purchase orders. Crypto Market Ads proposes to solve these problems by offering a stable market that can bring advertisers and publishers together on an open and democratic market platform. Publishers and service providers will compete with each other through marketing tactics such as offering prices, demonstrable competitiveness, and instant communication. Versatility for market makers is one of Crypto Market Ads strongest points. Advertisers will be able to carry out their marketing campaigns and advertising campaigns quickly and reliably without requiring exorbitant budgets or contacting dozens of publishers.

This solution will help the whole specialized advertising space to become fully autonomous, instead of relying on large companies; companies that do not back this new paradigm change. The crypto market is large enough to evolve on its own without support from mainstream publishers. However, it will receive with open arms the experts who jump in and decide to be part of the most revolutionary global transformation in decades.

Details and distribution of Crypto Market Ads coin

To participate in the project launch, you can contribute as a bounty hunter or purchase Crypto Market Ads coins. Ten billion units will be issued, of which 50% are available for Private sale and IEO; the non-acquired coins will be burned based on the parameters detailed in the official Crypto Market Ads documentation. Private-Sale begins on April 20 and anyone can participate except United States residents. The distribution of coins detailed in Crypto Market Ads Whitepaper shows the following proportions:

It comes as a surprise to most people that the network we know as the “world-wide web” is in many ways not world-wide at all.

Press Release

For instance, platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram have long been banned in the People’s Republic of China1 - which was followed by a ban of WhatsApp in 20172. Another example is general access to the Internet in Eritrea, where less than 1.18% of the population of over 4.4 million people uses the Internet3. More shockingly, a 2016 study by Cambridge University revealed that more than sixty countries engage in some form of state-sponsored censorship of the Internet4. With several forms of social advances relying on unencumbered access to the Internet, many parts of the world are being left in the dark if they cannot access news or information and communicate with their peers in the same way that most others can.

The applications and communities will be governed by the voting power of individual users

UK-based Nuvo Cash Ltd. (known as “Nuvo Cash”) has developed the Nuvo blockchain network to address Internet censorship and usage problems that have economical, social, and political implications. The Nuvo blockchain network is a foundation or “base layer” on which decentralized applications and social media communities can easily be built. These applications and communities will be governed by the voting power of individual users, without being subject to any central authority that can control what is or is not done. Where traditional social media networks effectively function as dictatorships, applications and communities on the Nuvo blockchain function as democracies, introducing freedoms that in many regions would otherwise be impossible.

The best way to think of the Nuvo blockchain network is as its own iteration of the Internet, which allows applications to be built and communities to be formed (just like websites on the regular Internet), with a focus on user freedom, and an underlying protocol that performs two key complementing functions…

(i) Censorship Resistance News feeds on social media communities built on the Nuvo blockchain network are ranked based on votes from users. That is, if your peers in a community believe an article or posting is interesting and relevant, their upvotes will ensure such content has a high ranking. Conversely, if your peers feel negatively about a posting, their downvotes will similarly ensure that poor content is displaced in favour of better content. We would all like to think that this is exactly how traditional social media networks rank news feeds, but it came out years ago that this was not the case, and there were very calculated biases which tainted the integrity of news feeds5.

(ii) Incentive Economics As you can see, user participation is the backbone of the blockchain mechanism that maintains the quality of news feeds on Nuvo-based social media communities. That is, without users actively posting good content, there is nothing for other users to see and enjoy. Similarly, without users voting on content to determine if it is good or bad, there is insufficient data to determine what should be ranked high or low on the news feed. For this reason, the Nuvo blockchain is programmed to pay users with NUVO token (the network’s proprietary cryptocurrency) in exchange for all forms of engagement. In short form, it’s exactly what it sounds like… users get paid just for using social media like they normally would, because the input provided by their actions provides a material benefit to each community.

Most likely, this has you wondering what it is that gives NUVO tokens value. In short, NUVO tokens equate to influence on the Nuvo blockchain network. That is, the more NUVO you hold, the more sway you have on the NUVO ecosystem. This influence can be used on Nuvo-based social media communities (i.e. more impactful votes, higher visibility of postings), as well as on governance matters relating to the Nuvo blockchain network itself. As we all know, power and money go hand in hand, which is the simplest way to think of the NUVO token’s value proposition. In the NUVO whitepaper, there is a section which gives greater detail on why NUVO tokens have value: https://jamaa.com/docs/whitepaper

Jamaa a fully-functioning community on the Nuvo Blockchain Network

Currently, there is one fully-functioning community on the Nuvo blockchain network called Jamaa. Jamaa (which means “friend” in Swahili) is built for users in Africa, a region in which Internet censorship is a major issue. For example, social media websites have been known to suddenly become unavailable in parts of Africa during election times6. Weaknesses in news feed algorithms resulting from networks’ ignorance to the needs of African users have also been weaponized by malicious parties to achieve political influence7. Like all Nuvo-based communities, Jamaa gives users the opportunity to earn and use NUVO tokens.

In less than six months of operation, Jamaa has amassed a base of more than 15,000 users, even attracting users internationally from Russia, Canada, and Indonesia. Yesterday, Jamaa gained an iconic user named Kyle Kemper (https://jamaa.com/profile/kemper). Kemper is a famed visionary of blockchain technology, and he is the step-brother of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Nuvo Cash will be launching its second social community GameKarma (for video gamers) in May 2019, with additional plans to launch communities for India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines.

Nuvo Cash announced that it would be launching Nuvo Chat

Additionally, Nuvo Cash announced that it would be launching Nuvo Chat, a decentralized messaging and VoIP communications platform based on the Nuvo blockchain network. Nuvo Chat will enable users to benefit from the same protections as Nuvo-based social media communities (i.e. immunity to censorship). Nuvo Chat is part of Nuvo Cash’s overall vision to offer users a truly decentralized and democratic way of interacting, whether through social media postings, messages, group discussions, or voice/video calls.

To provide early participants in the Nuvo blockchain network an opportunity to obtain a stake in the initial supply of NUVO tokens, an initial exchange offering for NUVO launched on ProBit on Friday April 12, 2019. As of this writing, six cryptocurrencies are accepted as payment for NUVO tokens (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Steem, Ripple, and ProBit’s proprietary token PROB), and purchase bonuses as high as 10% can be had on ProBit.

Nuvo has already received media coverage in relation to the NUVO token sale. Just before the sale commenced, the Korean branch of Asia Today published an article on Nuvo (http://www.asiatoday.co.kr/view.php?key=20190412010008637#_enliple). With many Asian countries poised to benefit from the capabilities of the Nuvo blockchain network, this media attention reflects international interest in the Nuvo blockchain network, even in its early stages.

The privacy of digital data on the network is the salient feature to P2PS secure, interference-free communications system developed by P2P Solutions Foundation.

The privacy of digital data on the global network finds a new competitor in the crypto universe. From the outset, the team of P2P Solutions Foundation points out a clear global problem; anything that is digitally exchanged with anyone, anywhere, is not protected by any privacy standard. Including information exchanged on corporate networks (private intranets). Right now the vast majority of Internet and Intranet activity is constantly monitored. At certain bottlenecks, the tracked information may be sensitive to the parties. In this way, new models are needed in which the activity is properly protected.

P2P Solutions Foundation presents a data management model that respects the privacy of all parties, including users seeking to store sensitive data or to exchange it with another entity or person. In most recent years, there have been several huge data breaches. In other words, giants such as Facebook or Coinbase have recognized problems in data management. Data that ends up in the hands of third parties without user’s knowledge. In some cases, they are intentional sales. Therefore, a reliable, committed and impartial infrastructure is needed.

The innovatively engineered ecosystem provides a secure platform whereby users can exchange confidential digital files or assets. This process is completed without any interference from third parties; not even a network or system administrator. So, P2PS is a peer-to-peer platform that protects data without compromising parties. Therefore, it facilitates confidentiality to users without advanced knowledge of cryptography. At the same time, it is not limited to one function. But it can also protect, for example, your medical records, banking information, and other sensitive digital assets, during the exchange between two parties. These platforms today are simply inexistent.

The foundations of the project are built on an Experienced group at the head.

This does not happen overnight, the ability to assert such solidity has its roots; an experienced group has focused on build a system for the people to exchange confidential and digital assets without third-party interference. Leading the project is Jameel A. Shariff (CEO and Board member); he is a third-generation entrepreneur and visionary, with advanced degrees from European and American educational institutions. Four years of U.S. Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBM), and Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Business Administration, also from the U.S. Both BSBM and MBA were awarded to Jameel with the highest honor and distinction of "Summa Cum Laude".

On the board we find an experienced team with Ian Scarffe as business ambassador; Ian is a renowned leading expert in the Bitcoin, Blockchain and Crypto industries, Top advisor #1 at ICObench. David Drake , founder and president of LDJCapital. Sydney Ifergan , an experienced Top Advisor #10 at ICObench as a member of the advisory board. Ken Tachibana, technical and Financial Specialist PLUS Advisor on the Advisory Board of P2P Solutions Foundation. These details are reasons of great weight, the team starts from a proven base, personalities with extensive careers, solvency, and commitment entrenched in the sector.

As a result, the P2P Solutions Foundation has received outstanding ratings from many of the leading crypto space review and evaluation sites. 5.0 in TrackICO, 4.9 in ICOBench and 4.31 in ICO Market Data. However, it is not only due to the solid team. The biggest concern of any CEO or CIO who runs a company with confidential digital transactions today is the high cost of data security. Today, cyber security breaches around the world have an enormous associated cost; it rises to hundreds of billions annually. Let's get into the details of the platform.

Transaction confidentiality and stakeholder privacy as a global challenge.

The privacy of digital data is an approach with an upward trend; the concern at digital communities is proven. That's why we consider the P2P Solutions Foundation perspective especially interesting. The fact of offering an ecosystem in which to safeguard information is needed for all kinds of people. Journalists who need to save their person or sources, governments with little infrastructure in cybersecurity and digital data management... the use cases run into thousands. Although diversity and healthy competition are necessary, this new competitor joins the existing choices of security but has positioned itself uniquely from the privacy angle.

With a solid pre-existing infrastructure, P2PS begins its journey in cryptospace. It's the essence of operating digitally without a 3rd party or even an administrator; users get a platform where all interactions and transactions are completely safe, fast and confidential. One detail to consider is the alternative proposed to traditional centralized models. This includes a wide range of potential users ranging from lawyers to multinational companies in traditional industry sectors. Secure digitization has come from P2P Solutions. The corporative world includes billions of user accounts in a total sum of sensitive data collected.

This means an infinite number of attack vectors to privacy and confidentiality. For this reason, simple and consistent models are needed in a global economy. P2PS transfers the power of the most professional encryption to a simple user interface. Providing a fully operational platform from the first day. Once the management of confidential data is secured, the user must ensure that it is stored securely; another strength of P2PS. The platform doesn't host a whole bunch of extravagant or unnecessary features, it's about privacy and the responsible team prides itself in being extremely good at it. Recent cases of hacking and data breaches attest to the fundamental importance of a safe software and ecosystem. Both call for such characteristics and boost the estimated potential value of the P2PS token.

ICO and P2PS token details

The P2PS token has been designed under the Ethereum network compatible standard. This significantly facilitates the token's interoperability. It is also compatible with a huge range of developments based on the Ethereum network (like exchanges or dApps). After purchasing the P2PS tokens, the user in question can deposit them in a wallet compatible with standard ERC20 tokens. Including obviously the most adopted by the community such as MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, Mist, Parity, Imtoken, and so on.

The ICO event of the P2PS token takes place gradually until the hard cap is achieved. During the ICO process (already active) and its phases, the maximum collection (hard cap) is 136,000 Eth; or approximately $50 million at an average of $370 for each Ether. Considering the tokens that are given as a bonus to an average of 20% from the 50 million P2PS tokens. The Soft Cap is equivalent to $750000 (read the Pre-ICO & ICO FAQ section on the web).

Use cases guaranteed from the first moment with the great commitment of the sponsors.

As is well indicated in the documentation, the market study before the launch of the ICO suggests a positive framework. The diversified focus on three kinds of audiences generates synergies, fuelling the demand of tokens. The traditional audiences of the blockchain sector, traditional institutions seeking to digitize their systems with high technology and e-commerce places. P2PS must increase its value due to various traders, service providers and markets in countries around the world that adopt the P2PS ecosystem. Largely due to its multilingual interface, fast, easy to use & intuitive to user behavior. This means comfort, ease of use, safety, confidentiality... and many other useful features.

Many of the features mentioned are essential for the next wave of global adoption. The ISI Group Consortium is appreciated as a sponsor on the website and documentation. ISI Group is composed of multinational corporations involved in unique and innovative solutions. This is very useful for governments, education, banking, telecoms, IT, IoT and other industries. Digital file management requires first-rate infrastructure at all scales, seriousness and first level commitment. The funds raised during the token sale period (pre-ICO & ICO phases) will be used according to the described plan, which will also increase the value of P2PS.
